Show HN: Predator vs. Boids

Swarm Intelligence Simulation

Boids vs Predator with Evolution

Boids are artificial life forms following three simple rules:

- Alignment - Match direction with neighbors - Cohesion - Stay close to the group - Separation - Avoid collisions

The term "Boid" is short for "bird-oid object." The simulation and its underlying principles were developed by Craig W. Reynolds in 1986.

A predator hunts the swarm, forcing evolution. Boids that survive reproduce, passing on genetic traits like speed and evasion abilities. Successful boids automatically reproduce every ~15 seconds.

Key Features:

- Real-time evolution across generations - Self-attention mechanism for global awareness - Interactive predator control (arrow keys) - Emergent survival strategies

Watch as simple rules create complex, lifelike behaviors!

Show HN: DeepShot – NBA game predictor with 71% accuracy using ML and stats

Hacker News - Sat, 05/24/2025 - 5:00pm

Hey everyone, I’m an NBA fan and Python dev, and I recently built DeepShot — a machine learning model that predicts NBA game outcomes with about 71% accuracy based on historical stats and rolling performance metrics (EWMA). It features: Real NBA data from Basketball Reference Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages to track momentum Interactive NiceGUI interface with team comparison and predictions Full Python stack and open-source (MIT license) Here’s the GitHub repo: https://github.com/saccofrancesco/deepshot And if you like it, here’s my Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/saccofrancesco Would love any feedback — especially from folks who’ve built sports models or worked on real-time stat tools. Also open to ideas on where to take this next (player-level modeling? betting advice dashboard?).

Thanks!
